Choices

At the moment the two sims with the highest number of votes are Arizona and India.

       Arizona

       India

I love them both, and they both have cute boyfriends (but I prefer Arizona's bf)..... I really can't decide. So, I think I'll leave the survey up for a little longer and in the meantime I'll play with both of them and regularly alternate households. This way I won't be 100% in control of the story and random things will be happening while I'm playing the other sim. Who knows, maybe this will help me decide.

Heir #1

The years went by and the Mercury kids grew up. They graduated from their private schools and came back home.

It's now time to choose the heir of the first generation. The idea is to select the most attractive, so look at the descriptions and choose carefully. I will add screenshots of the girls' boyfriends as well, since the most attractive couple will most likely produce the prettiest babies for the next generation. The link to the survey is at the bottom of this post. The future of this family depends on you.
Thanks for your help.

Emily (Emilia) and her boyfriend.

Arizona and her boyfriend.

India and her boyfriend.

Brian and his girlfriend (still a teenager).

Teenage years

The kids came home for one summer before going to a private high school.

During a party thrown by Matilde and Freddie, Brian met a girl. He fell really hard for her, and they started dating regularly.

The summer was a lot of fun for everybody, but once the kids left for school Matilde and Freddie hit a rough patch. Both had brief affairs with other people.

Matilde kissed one of the neighbors, but felt immediately guilty and didn't go further.

Freddie wasn't as strong as Matilde, and ended up impregnating his lover.

Matilde was very upset at first, but she realized that they very both to blame for what happened and she decided to give their marriage another chance.

On the bright side, she finally reached the top of the medical career, which gave her a huge mood boost.

Sayuri's pregnancy went on smoothly. Matilde was very understanding all along, and helped her friend as much as possible. Ryan, Reid and Iris were born in an extended family that loved them deeply. Unfortunately, Reid died unexpectedly in a tragic starvation accident.

Surprise

Emily, Arizona and India kept their parents busy 24/7.

It was hard for them to find time to dedicate to each other, but they were determined to keep the romance alive. So, they made sure to have at least one date night every two weeks.
Their passion for each other didn't fade a bit, but sleep deprivation played a trick on them.... One passionate night, they wanted to celebrate the anniversary of their first date, but they were extremely tired, so they forgot to use protections.

When they realized what happened, it was too late: they had three toddlers and another baby on the way!


Brian was a healthy baby boy. The whole family was thrilled to have this little angel join them.

It took them a while to get used to the new routine, but they eventually mastered their parenting/working duties and everything seemed to proceed flawlessly.

When they were old enough, Matilde and Freddie made the tough call to send their kids away to private schools. They knew they would miss their children terribly, but they also knew that it was important to invest on their education, and they were lucky enough to be able to afford it.
